Amusing Euphemisms For Death

[xDarc]

passed on
crossed over
pushing up daisies
worm food
six feet under
met their maker
with god
toes up
cashed in their chips
bought the farm
punched their ticket

Personally, I like "...botched his Survival check". But that's because I'm a roleplaying nerd.

Oh Yeah! I remember when the D&D creator or someone died, one of the newspapers printed a story saying that he had "Failed a saving throw Vs a Heart Attack".

There's also Corporal Jones from Dad's Army who sometimes referred to people going to "That great parade ground up in the sky."

I also remember a scene from Scrubs where JD is advising an intern about talking to a terminally ill patient.
"Yeah, I'm gonna need you to go back in there and use some form of the word 'die'. 'Dead'; 'deadwood'; 'deadsies'."

"Gone to Davy Jones' locker" is also a good one, at least before Pirates of the Caribbean.

I also can't fail to mention "Pwned by a n00b", which may yet catch on in RL.

"Son of a ***** went and did an impersonation of Houdini"
"What, he escaped!?"
"No, he died like a little girl"

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

He was analy raped is always an amusing term for 'He was completely overwelmed and died horribly'

Kicked the bucket
Turned the corner
Out of the tube.

The joke I heard was, "Failed his saving throw versus Death" most of the time, because there is indeed a save versus death stat in old school D+D. Also, the guy was Gary Gygax, or if the newspaper was a little more up on there geek factor, they might have also reported on Dave Arneson.

He's following the lightbulbs now.

"[insert demanded action], or else I'm gonna light you up like a Christmas tree." while holding a flame thrower.

"...ends up as a spear depository..."

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

Wasted
Liquidated
Got a one way ticket
Gone to meet their maker

When you die in big letters it says

"Out of lives, GAME OVER"

"Bugger, James just got cheesed off"

 

[Arkhangelsk]

"He's sleeping with the fishes tonight".

Always found that amusing.

I found it amusing in the fish-movie Shark Tale. "...Or she'll be sleeping with the fishes...the dead ones."

 

[EnzoHonda]

He just got stamped "return to sender."

He's gone "tits-up." (Like "belly-up," but funnier.)

Worm food.

Well, he'll be watching us shower.

Thank you kind sir.
I was just surprised it wasn't in the original message or at least the first two replies.
